Schaerf's interventions are based on poetic experiments where
there is no beginning and no end, there are, moreover, references,
similarities and correspondences. He creates visual and verbal
compositions in which some objects and materials prevail: fabrics,
curtains, threads, paper, printed materials, video and sound, that
reappear in different combinations and states of
materialization.

The artist uses the correspondence between objects and language in
all its manifestations, from the spoken word and advertising to
litterature; he combines materials, forms and words, that, in their
very juxtaposition and association, reveal the process of
constructing alternative meanings.

This moment of change - the artist's choice of words and media and
their aesthetic displacement from one cultural sphere to another-
is at the heart of Schaerf's investigations, based on the mobility
of senses and the shifting formation of identity.

His work is developping in this intervals, the simple arrangements
or constellations function as moments, spaces of transition.

For his first exhibition in Greece, Eran Schaerf will present an
ensemble of works, specially adapted to the gallery space: Bouquet
(2002), Voile (2002), Record: I love you (1999, video 8', in
collaboration with philosopher Eva Meyer), More or Less - You are
My Life - (2002, sound piece) as well as: Paradise 106 (2002), wall
installation in the showroom.
